New Book About the Baud Museum in Switzerland
By Kevin McElhone

I am pleased to announce another new book on our wonderful hobby
from the Baud Museum in L'Auberson, Switzerland.  This large-format
A4 size, illustrated hardback book is 220 pages long and is written
in English, French and German.

It tells the tale of the Baud Family, of a passion for mechanical
musical instruments, of outstanding skill in reviving long-forgotten
wonders, of a talent for breathing new life into things from bygone
eras, and all for the delight and enchantment of the museum's visitors.

I have been to this museum and can highly recommend a visit.  There
are some unusual instruments here, the story of how and where they
found some of the rarer instruments is particularly interesting.

The museum is selling the books for 58 Swiss Francs plus shipping but
they delivered a large number of books to me, without delivery charges,
at the spring meeting of the Musical Box Society Great Britain earlier
this month.

I am selling the books, with agreement from the museum, at 45 UK pounds
each, plus shipping.  If you are interested please send your address
for a postage quote.
